861  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to sell BTC on ebay to don't get chargeback on: October 10, 2016, 07:25:30 PM
Don't bother trying to sell a physical good with an address containing bitcoins because spammers can easily get around that and PayPal or the credit card company won't look into it at all because you aren't supposed to be selling non tangible goods in the first place. Just don't use eBay!
862  Economy / Exchanges / Re: BitFinex has frozen my unverified cryptotrading account containing xx,xxxx USD!! on: October 10, 2016, 06:55:51 PM
Xx,xxxx doesn't really make sense. Is it xxx,xxx or xx,xxx (for example 100,000 or 10,000)?

Either way this is why I wouldn't ever keep anything on an exchange ever. Why trust a third party with your money? They could always just say you were using it for something illegal and now they own your bitcoins
863  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This is why Bitcoin P2P lending is dead. on: October 10, 2016, 05:29:57 PM
I had considered getting into the lending business when I started with bitcoins but it just didn't seem to be a viable business model. I think your four pages of red prove that. That's, what, a 90%+ default rate?! Why bother. Collateral loans on this forum make sense but nothing unsecured over the internet. People have no reason to pay it back! You can't hunt them down for $50.00
864  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Secondstrade.com is Totally SCAM !!!! on: October 10, 2016, 05:26:41 PM
If I were you I would open this under the scam accusation subforum. Have a look at what is typically used as proof for scams in the past and go from there. Good luck. Hopefully this is just a slow response time and not an actual scam.
865  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: List of World leaders who have mentioned bitcoin? on: October 10, 2016, 03:31:03 PM

-snip-

It is funny how Donald Trump hasn't mentioned Bitcoin, even though he has an altcoin named after him. (namely TRUMP).  Smiley

Having an altcoin named after you is not really a reason to mention bitcoin, let alone become interested in in it. There have been a few known people who had coins named after them actually mention it (Kanye, Ron Paul, Max Keiser), but most of them never even know it exists.

What is the general way their are talking about bitcoin or blockchain technology? Positive, neutral or negative?

It depends what country you're asking about, but in Canada it seems to mostly be positive to be honest. Of course there are always people trying to discredit bitcoin by saying it's for criminals but what can you do?
866  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible to "Hack" a known bitcoin address? on: October 09, 2016, 07:18:29 PM
If there were a way to use public keys to determine (hack) private keys then there wold be no bitcoins left.

Similar to you hiding a geocache in Iceland I've left a grain of rice somewhere in our solar system. (Hint: it's not on earth). It contains my private key that may hold 2500 satoshi or 1 bitcoin (or anything in between). If you and your ancestors looked for 1000 years would you find this grain of rice? That's about how probable it is of hacking abitcoin address.

SOLD to Monbux. I may consider other trades if it's worth my while but otherwise I'm done for now. I'll post if I need an exchange in the future.
868  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Local Electricty company shut me down for mining. on: October 05, 2016, 11:33:20 PM
Huh? What country are you in? Judging from your username you're in China. I can't believe that's even legal for them to shut you down. Are you without electricity now?
869  Other / Meta / Re: Is it just me or has the quality of this forum dropped immensely on: October 05, 2016, 11:29:22 PM
The unfortunate part of all of this is that there are people farming hundreds of accounts to earn their satoshis. Just look at this thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1597201.0;topicseen

It really takes away from us legitimate posters who just have some passive bitcoins being paid to us for something we would be doing either way.
870  Economy / Lending / Re: $2 loan in Bitcoin. on: October 05, 2016, 11:25:29 PM
When people are so desperate for money in my area, they usually go dumpster diving for returnable cans and bottles.  It wouldn't take you long to find $2 worth and it's probably a lot easier than begging for a collateral-free loan in here.


HAHAHA! Exactly. It's $2.00. Do the bitcoin equivalent of looking for spare change and go to a dust-paying faucet or better yet sell something worth $3 for $2. Why bother making this thread? You knew this would happen.
871  Economy / Lending / Re: Need a 6$ loan on: October 05, 2016, 10:55:59 PM
48hrs
80% interest
Netflix account as collateral

Why would a Netflix account work as collateral? You just say you lost/forgot your password and it's yours again. It's not actually worth anything (more than a couple hours of TV). Lock the thread at the bottom left of your screen to avoid negative trust from default trust members.
872  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Final Diff thread prize is $75 runs Sept 25 to OCT? picks are now open. on: October 03, 2016, 01:57:34 AM
I self mod due to seriouscoin
I always pick -1.2 due to seriouscoi

Alright I've wanted to ask since the first time I saw this thread. What does this mean?! Is seriouscoin a person or an altcoin or what?

Anyways hmmm...

+9.3 = Chris!
873  Other / Off-topic / Re: 20 Bitcoins or 1 satoshi multiplied time 2 everyday for 30 days on: October 01, 2016, 06:58:25 PM
I guess it actually depends on if it doubles for 31 days + you get to keep all of your previous amounts or if you have to give back your previous amount.

January 1st: 1 Satoshi
January 2nd: 2 Satoshi
January 3rd: 4 Satoshi
January 4th: 8 Satoshi
January 5th: 16 Satoshi
January 6th: 32 Satoshi
January 7th: 64 Satoshi
January 8th: 128 Satoshi
January 9th: 256 Satoshi
January 10th: 512 Satoshi
January 11th: 1024 Satoshi
January 12th: 2048 Satoshi
January 13th: 4096 Satoshi
January 14th: 8192 Satoshi
January 15th: 16384 Satoshi
January 16th: 32768 Satoshi
January 17th: 65536 Satoshi
January 18th: 131072 Satoshi
January 19th: 262144 Satoshi
January 20th: 524288 Satoshi
January 21st: 1048576 Satoshi
January 22nd: 2097152 Satoshi
January 23rd: 4194304 Satoshi
January 24th: 8388608 Satoshi
January 25th: 16777216 Satoshi
January 26th: 33554432 Satoshi
January 27th: 67108864 Satoshi
January 28th: 134217728 Satoshi
January 29th: 268435456 Satoshi
January 30th: 536870912 Satoshi
January 31st: 1073741824 Satoshi = 10.73741824 bitcoins

I've done so much martingale on 2x so I know without calculating that if January 31st: 1073741824 Satoshi  then if you sum up all the other days of January you'll get (1073741824 - 1) Sats.  Smiley So the whole payment would be over 21 BTC.

But I'd prefer 14 BTC right now because that's a big money too.


I'll just leave this here for you: 1-800- 522-4700

You know you have a gambling problem when you can't wait a month to earn 6BTC lol. I would suggest giving that # a call ASAP.

I just bought a new phone and need some Bitcoins! I have 0.76BTC available and I'm hoping to do it all in one trade. See the OP for more details.

Yes yes it's a dumb newbie question. I have this thread I would like to unlock and I'm the OP. I don't see an unlock option anywhere. I know people do it all the time...

Ah Jesus freaking Christ I found it nvm... Look on the bottom left everyone! The very bottom! Arg! Durp! Nvm. Goodbye.
877  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Selling $500 Vanilla Visa for $375 btc--pics included on: October 01, 2016, 02:56:05 PM

Why so cheap? 75% is low for these cards, expecially considering you usually pay $500 fiat + an activation fee that is relatively high.

Because he probably got it from a scam victim.
Many (most) vanillas sellers do not own the cards and have no physical access, you should ask the seller to take a picture with some text on a white paper stating he is buying BTC with it.



that is exactly what i said i would do

to the moron asking wheres the pics?  yeah im gonna post them in the thread.

To the scammer who posted this thread you still haven't posted those pictures. Don't forget to have your username on a piece of paper and proof that there's money on the card!!

Edit: could you answer my questions too? Sure does take you a long time to prove you're trustworthy. I wonder why?
878  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Selling $500 Vanilla Visa for $375 btc--pics included on: September 25, 2016, 04:25:37 PM
It looks like you forgot the "pics included" that you have in your title.

Is this USD?

Why so cheap? 75% is low for these cards, expecially considering you usually pay $500 fiat + an activation fee that is relatively high.

Do you accept escrow?
879  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you find out the optimal network fee for transaction? on: September 25, 2016, 04:21:48 PM
As of right now:

Which fee should I use?

The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 60 satoshis/byte, shown in green at the top.
For the median transaction size of 241 bytes, this results in a fee of 14,460 satoshis (0.07$).

This is taken right from https://bitcoinfees.21.co/
880  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible to "Hack" a known bitcoin address? on: September 25, 2016, 04:04:51 PM
It looks like you've gotten some good answers here but yes I would agree to just get your friends' phone/laptop/tablet and see if he ha any unencrypted addresses. That would be the only way you could get any access to his bitcoins. Sorry for your loss and I'm especially sorry for his family's loss. I'm sure they'll need the funds if you can get access to them somehow.

As a community we should really have a guide on how to make sure your family would have access to your bitcoins in the event of your death.
